Political Refugees Quotes
There were Arabs living in Palestine since Roman times. However, there was no concept of Palestinians as a separate people from Jordanians or other Arabs in the Middle East. There had never been a Palestinian government separate from the other Arabs in the region and separate from the Kingdom of Jordan. At the birth of Israel, all the Arab Armies of the region attacked the new state, which managed to defend itself but in the process the Arab governments had told the Arabs of Israel to leave the Area so their Armies would be able to attack all others. After the Arab victory, they could return and could have their land and the Jewish land. The victory never happened and the Arabs who left have been refugees outside of Israel and describe themselves as “Palestinians” which have had a quasi government in the PLO. The Palestinians who stayed in Israel became full citizens of the Jewish State. Other Palestinian refugees left the area and emigrated throughout the Middle East and elsewhere.
Trotsky had been assassinated by Stalin’s agents in Mexico. Trotsky supporters in the U. S. wanted to bring his body here for burial.

“Fora” is the plural of forum. It was then preferable to “forums” as the plural form, because “forum” was a Latin word and the Latin plural for nouns ending in “um” was “a” as in “flora and fauna”. This was adopted as U. S. Policy until the second decade of the 21st century when the combination of the War on Terror, and the huge world refugee crises triggered by the Syrian revolution produced much nativist and and-immigration feeling to go along with the small proportion of American anti-immigrants who have almost always been a part of the American pluralistic landscape.
